Canadians acquired when oil
was plentiful and cheap. lbday
\sources of oil are unreliable and
increasingly more expensive, SO
we just have to kick the habit.
The habit won't be hard to
break because Canada has anThose
abundance of energy aiterna-
tees that are plentiful and are
ultimately cheaper than oil.sense
Canada Oil Substitu-
tion Program (COSP), is a
major part of the federal govern-
ment's National Energy
Program. COSP is designed to
help reduce the use of oil' ,
for home heating in every pro-
vince to no more than 10 per
cent ortotal household energy
use by 1990. .
COSP is a 10 -year program
g
that offers grants of up to.
$800 covering half the cost of
equipment and labour for
changing your space or hot
water heating system from oil
to natural gas, electricity,
propane or renewable energy
sources such as wood and solar.
The COSP grant is taxable.
The oil substitution of a
centrally heated building
unit that contains two or more
self-contained dwelling units �
can qualify for COSP:grants
ranging from $1,000 to $5,500.
